Hosted by the Alouette River Management Society, this is a FREE, family activity, open to the public. Join your friends and family from 10 a.m. on Friday Sept 1st, to paint bright yellow fish on storm drains to show where water and pollutants go that eventually end up in the Alouette River.

This fun activity includes all the necessary materials and is a great way to create environmental awareness in your community. Then follow us down to Robi Smith’s Artist-in-Residence studio along the South Alouette River for refreshments and to make a beautiful lantern which will become part of the “River of Light” community lantern installation at the end of September.
